Monday July 2d.

I omitted to read Coke upon Littleton this morning and occupied myself in trying to
get through all the labor of effectually securing my title to my books. I received
a letter from Abby which put me into very good spirits. And the day passed more pleasantly
than any one which we have had since Madame’s departure. But the weather is very warm.
A ride and Billiards in the evening.
